doannvb Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I am an RT who plan to change career to be a PA. I am discouraged and feel offend for PA by some of the offers being posted in this forum. It seems new grad PA make less than a 6years exp RT as me. Any thought?

andersenpa Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 People who post their job offers here often do it because the offer was extremely low (you won't see people talking about avg or high offers as frequently, if at all) You're seeing a relative over-reporting of the bad ones Salaries are good on the whole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinitosnl Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 it just depends where your at and the need. In Texas pay can be easily 50 dollars and hour starting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted February 4, 2013 Moderator Share Posted February 4, 2013 LOTS of folks refuse to leave their home town(like nyc) and end up settling for low ball offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator rev ronin Posted February 4, 2013 Administrator Share Posted February 4, 2013 That, and women will more often be lowballed on offers than men will, because women are perceived to be more willing to work for less and/or accept an inferior offer to "go along to get along" and/or in hopes that ephemeral promises will turn into raises. They're a clear majority of new grad PAs, and seem to be well represented among those seeking advice on offers here. I helped a couple of my younger (well, than me) female classmates with their interviewing and negotiating points--but I shudder to think how even younger and under-supported new female grads are abused by the hiring process.

kidnid Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Its very imp for a new grad PA to go into an interview with absolute confidence !.... and the attitude that" just becos im a new PA it does not mean i get low balled". we have to go in with numbers, and facts/figures. when i was a new grad i started at 75k 4 hrs ago.... by now the sal has gone up to 80k out of school. (im talking about the base salary only + the extra bennies :) need to to asked !) New PA s need to lean these facts/ figures and stay put. Since there are so many PA jobs and you wil ultimately get a good match !... and not to get scared and take what ever comes your way ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
